An Indian Haveli Architectural Facade with Three Windows and a Balcony

About the Item

This exquisite Indo-Saracenic residential balcony, crafted in the 1900s in Gujarat, India, features an overhanging upper story, four columns, two lower windows, and a door. The balcony, with its three shuttered windows, is adorned with various interpretations of marigold motifs, symbolizing luck and love. Protruding from the structure are four brackets with horse motifs, symbolizing nobility. Below each horse are intricate carvings of elephants, heavenly musicians, and floral-animal hybrids. The four Corinthian-inspired columns, infused with British colonial design, support the balcony. The brackets feature motifs of lotus and queen of the night flower, while the capitals are adorned with acanthus and rosary designs. The fluted shafts are beautifully overlaid with Champa flower and acanthus motifs, resting on elegant sandstone bases. The two perfect square windows are embellished with marigold and Kalash motifs, framed with iron Jali (lattice). The Indian door is intricately carved with marigold motifs from top to bottom, accented with a Kalesh.
